This hotel is built into an old castle. You can walk around the ancient castle sections and there's information about the history which is all really interesting. Plenty of parking and lovely grounds. Nice restaurant and bar and spacious bedroom.

2/10 Poor

Help is needed

The bedroom was dusty and dirty. Shower on his last legs. The maids never refilled coffee milk etc. The way the beds were made was just thrown back on. The food in the restaurant was at a lower standard. To be honest, absolutely terrible. This place needs a revamp and improve standards.

Beautiful place to stay

Me and my hushad an amazing weekend for our 1st anniversary, food was excellent location was fantastic. Hottub in the forrest was an experience, although the Sauna was a little too small, not much value for money we paid on the twilight package we picked. Next time we would just book the hottub. Peacocks roaming around the grounds feeding out of your hands was something else. I would highly recommend a stay at Ruthin Castle.

Fabulous stay at a stunning location

Fabulous stay here. Stunning location full of history and the grounds are beautiful. The staff were lovely, helpful, professional and the food at breakfast and the evening meals were delicious. Didn’t get chance to sample the spa this time but will be returning to do so. Many thanks for such a wonderful time.

Kathryn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

An 800 year old castle, as you would expect, the facility is a little dated! But other than that, what am experience. Truly enjoyed our 4-days here. A good restaurant, a decent breakfast, and a very nice spa! Not sure I would stay again when in Northern Wales, many other options. But one time a must for anyone! And the peacocks, beautiful!

Peaceful place to stay

Great hotel if you want to stay in a castle it is kept to a good standard considering it is a castle , the staff are more than helpful and are all wanting to please you , we had evening meal which was very good which we both enjoyed, we are on a gluten free diet and it was no problem at all for them, the breakfast the next day was also really good , the grounds are also very nice to walk around and explore, we both enjoyed staying here thanks to all the hard working staff we most likely will return
